About the books

Who will recognize a great book better than a bookstore? A bookstore run by graphic designers. Here’s why: at MENDO we get market feedback seven days a week, we are blessed to be surrounded by a bunch of talented, inspiring people – photographers, writers and publishers – and after being a bookstore for more than 15 years, we can easily say we know what book aficionados are looking for. Don’t you agree that initiating, creating and realizing jaw-dropping books now, only comes natural?

A MENDO publication is a well-designed book with visually stunning creative content, browsed by people to be amazed and inspired. The subject-matter is one of our pre-defined curated categories, fashion, photography, interior, sport, lifestyle, food and traveling. In general, a MENDO book is a piece of furniture in itself.

Amsterdam

It is with pride that we announce Amsterdam, A Metropolitan Village, a book about the city we love, and a response to a decade-old question. At MENDO, in the very heart of Amsterdam, we have, since 2002, been asked the same question almost daily: “Do you have a good book about Amsterdam?” Invariably, the answer is: “Nothing that is up to the MENDO standard. This book is our answer. And that answer, from now on, is: “You bet!”

A book about the city we love, and a response to a decade-old question

Initiated by MENDO, for a whole year, photographer Ewout Huibers, was given the freedom to wander through the city and capture what he thought was interesting. And the result is at least a tribute of great diversity. From the role of the water in the city to the parasols in the front yards. From an architectural point of reference to a cyclist in the snow. Familiar and surprising, like only Amsterdam can be.
